The outline format includes performance objectives with suggested activities and resources for the topics of creativity, graphic design, photographic composition and communications, communication transmission, and systems analysis. Students are given the opportunity to design, plan, and complete appropriate assignments and learn of careers related to those areas of work. A lengthy section of student activities and instructional aids is appended. Included in this section are instructional diagrams and pictorials, handout sheets, information sheets, and learning activities. A bibliography of instructional resources including audiovisual aids and recommended equipment completes the document. (NJ)
